thanks! That's where Daemion started. He used a sketch pad for years.. His little brother is 4 and does a good job using the tablet, but i do make sure to be there at all times.. Any younger than that and i think you take a chance of them damaging it. The pen is pressure sensitive and i imagine it can take only so much punishment. Plus the cord that comes out of the tablet is just begging to be pulled right out. lol
